In today's competitive world, what responsible parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.

In today's competitive world, what responsible parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.

No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten- month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs.

It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards.

Câu 41: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?

A. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future.

B. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive.

C. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start early.

D. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do.

Câu 42: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _________________

A. tend to like music and art more than those who don't.

B. tend to have more accidents than those who don't.

C. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't.

D. will suffer from brain damage.

Câu 43: The author implies that children learn better _________________

A. when they hold and feel things around them.

B. after they have developed hand-eye coordination.

C. as they get older.

D. when they use a computer.

Câu 44: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?

A. Computers in schools B. Never too early to start

C. More computers mean brighter future D. Let kids be kids

Câu 45: What is true according to the passage?

A. There is no evidence that children who use computers are more clever than those who do not.

B. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.

C. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.

D. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.

Câu 46: What does the word "ludicrous" in the third paragraph (first sentence) mean?

A. suitable B. sensible C. humorous D. ridiculous

Câu 47: What does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. time B. children C. computers D. mouses

B. Read the passage, then choose the one best answer - a, b, c or d.

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework, They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently.

Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence of sport—the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. However, the individual representing his/her country cannot afford to think about enjoying him/herself; he has to think only about winning. He/She is responsible for an entire nation’s hope, dreams and reputation.

A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention “Argentina” to someone and chances are that he/she’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “puts Argentina on the map.”

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Years ago thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money travelling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.

53. According to the passage, the United States .

(A) has begun to give much attention to football

(B) is fond of playing football

(C) has won the football World Cup

(D) is getting sick of football

54. In the second paragraph, the word “summit” means the

(A) highest point

(B) mountain top

(C) award

(D) summary

55. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .

(A) fail to succeed

(B) be successful

(C) lose enjoyment

(D) be irrational

56. What is the author’s attitude towards international games?

(A) Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.

(B) Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.

(C) Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least.

(D) Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.
